“You have to be kidding me! Anywhere but there! Please!”

“Annabelle! It’s very kind of Vincent’s family to allow us to stay. The storm wiped out nearly a hundred member’s homes. This is our only option. And don’t let your father hear your whining, I’ve had enough of his temper for one day.”

“We are breaking into the high school this weekend. Who’s in?” Lou asks the group.

Many sets of eyes widen at the content of the question. It’s wasn’t the smoothest lead in to the topic that Amelie has ever seen, but it works.

They are all lounging in Jeremiah’s living room, the whole group, including Liam and Zac. It’s a relatively cozy room, so it is almost impossible to be in it without tou...

“I wish you would stop acting like this for once. Please, you were so kind and loving. I wish you were still like that, before all this, before everything. I wish…”

“I WISH YOU DIDN‘T EXIST”

The words hit him like I didn’t expect them to. Ricotcheting off his body and bouncing back to me as I realised the weight of what I just said.

His body slowly started fading out, the hole getting larger li...

"Please don't go. I need you." I freeze. The look on Jayden's face says all I need to know. I messed up.

"You need me?" Jayden tilts his head and raises an eyebrow.

"I shouldn't have said that." I lower my head.

"Did you mean it?"

"Yes." He'd never believe me if I said no, and he'd keep asking until I gave him an answer.

Jason was always a big talker. One time, he talked at a work meeting for so long that his boss fell asleep.

Thomas had never raised his voice at Lila. They were high school sweethearts, bound together by the gentle rhythms of their small town. But that evening, as the late summer sun dipped behind the hills, something inside him snapped.

"I can't believe you're so blind!" he yelled, the words harsh, alien on his tongue. Lila flinched, her eyes wide with shock. They had been ...

“Just get over it”

Just get over it?

Man, wish I’d thought of that first.

Wish I thought of it before the drugs and the hearse

Wish I thought of it before writing this verse

Wish I thought of it before I checked if it’d work

Dang

So it’s really that easy?

Just wake up one day and choose to be happy?

I’ve tried.

Really, I’ve tried and I’ve tried

Nothing really works

“If I ever go bad, will you kill me?”

“What?” Taylor flipped around to look at me, her worry filled eyes asking so many questions.

“It’s just that… I can feel the anger and darkness inside of me. And I can feel that it’s growing, getting stronger.”

Her tension eases and she give me an empathetic look. “Everyone gets frustrated from time to time.”

I frown at her and sit up from my laying positi...
